Combining West African folklore and contemporary American culture, If Pretty Hurts, Ugly Must Be a “MF” follows four teenage girls - Kaya, Massassi, Adama and Akim - all in their respective internal wars with the societal definitions of beauty and how it makes them feel. Set in the fictional village of Affreakah-Amirrorkah, the young women are given an opportunity to live in a society where their individual beauty can reign supreme. But that high stature also brings heart-wrenching pitfalls they must deal with to keep their souls sacred.
